100 Words from Matthew Welton

What I remember about physics is that each thing has its own properties.

Fit a bike with rubber tyres, you might get the occasional puncture but you’ll have a generally comfortable ride.

Stay away from the A-roads and you stay away from the traffic, plus you’ll probably get an uninterrupted view of uninterrupted village lanes.

A film that shows the everyday life of an East Midlands city might, when seen in an East Midlands cinema, demonstrate something you’d have to be there to understand.

Put the effort into riding your bike uphill, you get to freewheel down the other side.

Welcome to the 100 Words for Bicycle Project

Ride Leicester ‘100 Words for Bicycle’ Blog

Our aim is to share;

- 100+ words for 'Bicycle' representing Leicester’s written & spoken languages & dialect
- 100+ short (100 word) stories/poems/documentaries/rants/jokes/notes about riding bikes
- 100+ words that describe cycling for the people of Leicester

Our questions are;

- In a rich cultural city with 100+ spoken community languages and dialects – What are ‘100+ words for Bicycle?’
- Some say ‘Access & mobility is a civil liberty, ‘Cycling is an essential life-skill’ – ‘What describes Cycling to you?’
- In a ‘21st Century’, ‘People-friendly’, ‘Readable & Rideable’ City – What’s your story?’
